To a believer in his image this swis account thingy will not affect it. Anyway, we the humanity have yet to experience how it is to be leaded by someone that is ballanced and not a chronic addict to money and/or power. From the pharaons to Stalin to the guy that inspired the boss from Office Space to Sarkozy, they were all chronic addicted / out of ballance. Szarkozy showing what's more important for him and it ain't the people Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

In a way yes. He's investing into something that probably will translate to more money/power, his image. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

I'm putting my thougts via a funny message but I believe that this is naked truth. I think he's suffering from the clasical symptomns of chronic addiction. An highly addicted person feels obligated to stash/hide away the object of his addiction because, in his mind, the other addicts will try to steal it [which is actually true ]. Statistic showed that chronic addiction to money is highly spread within the rich people. They stash away more than they'll ever need and will do anything to keep things like that. Can you trust someone with a chronic addiction? No Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Projection. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

True. How about we take this conversation up a notch, let's name names and review their "coaching" services. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

I've took 2 canopy coaching and some free-fly coaching and calling those services *professional* it's a deformation to the term. For your personal reference AFF it's a professional service. Are you a canopy coach? What's your annual income? How often do you keep track with the progression of your students? What's the average progression that happens after your canopy class and in how much time. Could you point some names that you took from "zero to hero" as a reference of your teaching method? What do you know about teaching? Did you graduate an university? What makes your service a professional one? In Canopy Piloting Coaching the key word is coaching meaning that the person is focusing on coaching. I'm expecting him to be better than average canopy pilot, a fucking good teacher and a professional (paying tax, keeping records, focusing on teaching trends within his service, working on different approaches for different student type, overall believing 100% in his service to make it legit and standing behind his product). After AFF I haven't seen any coaches that are professionals. If you don't pay tax you're just scamming. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

I hear you but the main characters that teach today the swoop curse to the new generation, learned how to swoop from trial and errors. Check with the swooping history video. So, there's still a bit of trial-and-error left in their teaching methods. Me, I surfed today 5 full seconds from double fronts on a Sabre2 190 WL 1:1. 5 sec of surf can cover some ground if I'm in a downwinner. BTW since I've begin working on double fronts I've focus on how much time I'm spending surfing rather than the distance I've surfed. I've figured that time spent parallel with the ground is less influenced by the weather conditions, WL and it might reflect better if I've made any improvements.

[Drunk Irish Voice] I have bloody question for your "character". [hiccups] How does he get the initial capital for building the blooding vertical wind tunnel heh? [more hiccups /Drunk Irish Voice]

I love skydiving Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Thanks. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Thanks Jamie and keep up the good work! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

dude, I really like your ideas. Stay youself. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Did you hear anything about a phenomen in which you have two catapillars in different opaque glasses next to each other and when you touch one catapillar, they both "curl" in the same time even though they can't see eachother? Have you ever heard about this? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

I still have a hard time believing that the "line of resistence" - which is the part that's being roled - has spo much resistence compared with the drag force generated by the entire cocoon material in 200 km/h blust of air. Holding the rig on the ground and pulling by the bridal connection it takes less than 7 pounds of force to break the "line of resistance". For me the drag force - on terminal as it allegedly happen - must ne higher (or maybe my expectations are wrong) and I think it should stand you up. I've started my measurings but I haven't jump yet. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

So, it's happening again. Here's the background. I'm working on this dz as a packer in order to stay in skydiving. I guess skydiving is my drug. However, this dz owner is a source of drama around dz. Most of the time, inside him, the love of $ is more powerful than the voice of reaason. He puts students out for AFF in high winds - who get injured - he hires new instructors with questionable judgement (one new guy droped the drouge in a cessna and was hold by an experiment instructor inside the plane and the guy almost get out of the situation by blaming the packers, the camera man are constantly reporting that he is turning on one side and that they have to hold the hand of the customer). This guys is like his protege (and he comes from a rich background). Anyway, we have this reporting of "wrap lock" (which I think it's an inveted malfunction). This "wrap lock" (which we never see on video, or any proof that exists) happens only to him or the students that jump with him. The maximum rate of occurance is 3 by day (to the same person). For almost one month he was not at the dz because of some BS that eventually back fired to him. All that time there was no "wrap lock". Now he's back and "wrap lock" it's back. I'm getting tired of this lie. I think skydiving is not the place to play games that breaks people confidence and this really iritates me. I want to prove once and for all that there is no "wrap lock" and so to expose the inventor of the thingy. My plan, which I want to discuss with you, is as follow: - Measure the force (at the patch) that it takes to unwrap the wraped parachutte in 10 samples of normal packed parachutes by different packers. - Progressivly add eleastics (or duct tape bands over the line where it wraps) and measure the force again (which will be higher) - Progressively jump the packed job with elastics and open at terminal at a high altitude to see if the "wrap lock" occours. I'm also thinking of experimeting on ground by using the blast a cessna 206 has and measure the air speed to see how big is. I'm also considering giving this myth to mythbasters and see what they can come up with. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

it fell out on the floor while moving around and lets say it's on the floor behind the pilot chair. The tandem team gets out and the drougue with the bridal unfolding stays in the plane. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

the drouge stays inside the plane, Cessna 206? Theoretically speaking. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Genius move! Will try! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Thanks man. I have a lot to learn about what the average student is. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Thanks man. I will re-think and change my approach. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Hahaha. I see your point. Nice one. Have you also notice that all the people who think they're smart are usually wrong? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

I'm a radio instructor and yesterday we've handled a guy who couldn't make the difference between left and right. We've brief the student that we'll use a convention for left and right. Left was turn with the altimeter hand and right was turn with the hand. He landed safe. Where do you draw the line in terms of awareness in students? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

The packers on our dz are looking to buy t-shirts that say: "Your Packer secretly hates you". Anybody can help? Hello? Is there anybody out there?

I'm currently working on my 90's. Double fronts work like charm. I've never wanted to swoop. I've started with the pattern. Few times I was too high in the 2nd point of the pattern and I've cranked a 90 on front. My eyes begin to see the dive and the recovery part and I've begin to do it for the final and always to high. It was freaking awesome because my accuracy improved. I'm talking about you grab a front and you crank a 90. Then one time when I was too high, instead of releasing the front riser I've finish in double fronts and hold it to 1 sec before flare and release it slowly and got a nice surf. That's when I've started the double fronts. Now I'm working on half brakes to double to carve 90 without finishing on double fronts (because we want to practice perfection) and I'm still 10 feet to high last time. Meanwhile I'm also working on downsizing to increase my recovery arc and today I've done a crosswind on a one size smaller (170) rent gear. I'm looking forward for a 150 but before that I want to do the check list for 170. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
